Trump just said he is going to pardon the J6 "hostages".
SiSePuede419 replied to thaibeachlovers's topic in Political Soapbox
I watched it all day long as the violent mob attacked law enforcement officers. Your attempt to rewrite history by telling me that what I saw with my own eyes and ears wasn't "real" reminds me of Fake Christians trying to pretend the Bible doesn't prohibit lying, stealing, cheating just because you mumbled some words about accepting Jesus. You just threw Jesus in the garbage with your lies. π -

Solving the Transit Scam: Protecting Foreigners in Thailand

Obviously Thailand needs to build a giant Big C, Central and Makro complex that resembles Las Vegas but with indoor ski slopes and casinos to stop the Tweaked Out Myanmar Generals from cornering this lucrative market. -

On a sidenote, DOGE already is cutting useless fat from the Gum'mint. π As the first passenger to be ejected from Donald J. Trumpβs clown Cybertruck, Ramaswamy was required to relinquish his parking pass, security badge, and Trump Bible. Speaking to reporters, Elon Musk put the best face on Ramaswamyβs abrupt departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), asserting, βDOGEβs mission is to cut waste, and at the end of the day, no one was a bigger waste than Vivek.β -

Beating Police Officers over the head violently and trying to let a violent armed mob kill your vice president is... Law & Order. Or Hitler's Brownshirt criminal thuggery? Violence is OK if Dear Leader orders your execution. See? We're not a country of "laws" we do whatever Charles Manson, I mean Jim Jones, I mean Donald Trump says. Because we're not Nazis or Terrorists. WINK WINK π Hitlerβs Brownshirts, formally known as the Sturmabteilung (SA), played a crucial role in violently enforcing Hitlerβs values and ideology during the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. The SA primarily targeted political opponents, marginalized groups, and anyone who opposed or threatened Nazi ideology. Their tactics included: 1. Intimidation and Street Violence The SA organized mass demonstrations, marches, and rallies, often leading to violent confrontations with political opponents, especially communists, socialists, and trade unionists. They patrolled the streets, harassing and beating individuals who opposed Nazi ideology or didnβt conform to their values. 2. Disruption of Opposition The SA frequently disrupted meetings of rival political parties, using violence to break up gatherings and intimidate participants. They attacked political offices, destroyed printing presses, and assaulted journalists critical of Hitler. 3. Terrorizing Jews and Marginalized Groups The SA carried out acts of violence against Jewish people, vandalizing their businesses, homes, and synagogues. -
Just one little drink a day may seriously affect your health

Alcohol after 65 greatly affects your risk of falling. I've fallen several times in the past 7 years, all of which I was drunk. Luckily no injuries, bones still strong. My brother broke his hip at age 50 in a bike accident. That's weak bones. Different lifestyle, aka Lance Armstrong. -
No more DEI! Merit, not gender or ethnicity. A color blind meritocracy! Sounds good, huh? Starting today All Americans are equal! But of course some are more equal than others. π€£ Return to In-Person Work January 20, 2025 Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis, provided that the department and agency heads shall make exemptions they deem necessary. No remote work for Thee, but yes for me. I'm more equal than you. π Donald Trump is my Lord and Savior. Amen. π Hey! Anyone up for some golf tomorrow? I'm working remote for The Man. π Yes, Animal Farm by George Orwell is indeed a critique of both flawed socialism and corrupt crony capitalism. While the novella primarily allegorizes the Russian Revolution and the rise of totalitarianism under Stalin, its themes extend to broader societal and economic critiques. Here's how it addresses both: Critique of Socialism's Corruption Orwell critiques how socialist ideals, initially meant to bring equality and justice, can be corrupted by power-hungry leaders. The pigs in Animal Farm start with lofty principles of equality (symbolizing Marxist-Leninist socialism), but over time, they exploit their authority for personal gain. This mirrors how revolutionary movements can devolve into oppressive regimes when power is concentrated in the hands of a few. For example: The mantra "All animals are equal" is eventually amended to "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others," exposing the hypocrisy and betrayal of socialist principles. The pigs' gradual adoption of human behaviors symbolizes how revolutionary leaders often become indistinguishable from the oppressors they replaced. Critique of Crony Capitalism The book also criticizes the dangers of crony capitalism, where wealth and power are concentrated in a small elite that manipulates systems for personal benefit. By the end of the novella, the pigs become indistinguishable from the humans, representing capitalists and exploitative rulers. This highlights how unchecked power, regardless of the ideology it claims to represent, leads to exploitation and inequality. For example: The alliance between the pigs and human farmers (at the expense of other animals) symbolizes how political and economic elites can form self-serving coalitions, leaving the majority to suffer. The animals' endless labor, while the pigs reap the rewards, reflects the exploitative dynamics often seen in crony capitalist systems. Overall Message Orwell warns that neither socialism nor capitalism, in their corrupted forms, serve the common good. The book emphasizes the need for vigilance, transparency, and accountability to prevent power from becoming concentrated and corrupt, no matter the ideology.

Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist

Ah, so what. I had great capital gains in 1999 during the dot com bubble. And again after the 2008 crash, doubled my money (after it was halfed by the market). The stock market has gone up more under Democrats. Fact. S&P 500 Growth: Research shows that the S&P 500 index has experienced higher average annual returns during Democratic administrations than Republican ones, dating back to the early 20th century. For example, studies often cite average annual returns of about 10-11% under Democrats compared to 5-7% under Republicans. But you're still not "unbelievably rich"? Weird. Because that's what Trump was saying over and over...?!? So he was lying. π

Has Elon Musk become an existential threat to humanity?
SiSePuede419 replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Maybe not if he got his American citizenship by lying. Say for example, saying he was going to come to America to attend Stanford, but never enrolling because his real intention was to WORK ILLEGALLY by starting a company in California using Mommy and Daddy's gemstone mine money. That would be wrong! We all know how Republicans are against illegal immigrants. Send them home, right? π π― π -
Will Tesla Cyber trucks be legal in Thailand

Tesla Cybertruck has never been safety tested. Why? NTSA: "Our budget for crash testing vehicles is limited so we try to target big sellers" OOOOOOH. SICK BURN. π Besides, this was the first time at Tesla Musk got a chance to do a "clean design". Which is just a fancy way of saying he had no idea what the <deleted> he was doing. Safety? What's that? This Is Why Teslaβs Stainless Steel Cybertrucks May Be Rusting Who knew stainless steel might not be such a good idea for the exterior of an electric SUV?
